Sam: We’re gonna win the league!
The tongue in cheek remark was in response to thousands of West Ham away fans singing that after the Hammers went 2-1 up just before half time.
Allardyce continued “For us to have 24 points at this stage of the season is one hell of a total based on where we were this time last year when we were almost in the bottom three. Our strength in depth is what is paying off for us at the moment. We had to make changes to the team again, some by fatigue and some by injury, and we used the squad to its maximum. In the end we have pulled off another victory. We had seven shots on target and five off target by half-time – we generally don’t get that in a whole game away from home.I think Everton was 17 attempts with three on target, but this was seven attempts on goal by half-time, which shows we were in dominant mood.The second half was somewhat disappointing because we did not carry it on, but I was still very happy with the victory. ”
When asked about the fan protests to oust him last year he replied “What happened before is in the past, the game moves on very quickly”
